    ION-E Series System Overview ION-E S ERIES YSTEM VERVIEW The ION-E is a unified wireless infrastructure platform defined around IT based architecture. It brings together licensed wireless and power, plus Gigabit Ethernet for WiFi into one wireless system that can scale to building size and is technology and spectrum agnostic and adaptive. A basic ION-E system comprises the following main components, as shown in Figure 2-1. Central Area Node (CAN)—provides server-level control and primary signal distribution. 2U and 4U • subrack options are available. Transport Expansion Node (TEN)—connects to a CAN using Multi-Mode or Single-Mode fiber as a • secondary distribution point. 2U and 4U subrack options are available. Access Point—connects CAN/TEN to antennas or other wireless devices, and can be any of the following. • Universal Access Point (UAP)—connects the CAN/TEN to an internal antenna; receives data and – power through Category 6A twisted pair cabling. Supports Gigabit Ethernet for WiFi, IP cameras, or other devices in addition to wireless over a common cable. UAP-X—connects the CAN/TEN to an external antenna; otherwise functions the same as the – standard UAP. Carrier Access Point, Low Power (CAP L)—interfaces with the CAN/TEN via a CAT 6A cable, or via – an optical link. On the downlink, the CAP L converts some or all of the data arriving at the CAP L to analog signals and sends them to the an antenna. On the uplink, received signals are digitized and serialized into data streams which are sent back to the CAN/TEN. Each CAP L contains up to four transceiver paths for RF coverage. A WCS-2 and a WCS-4 can be configured for use as a CAN or a TEN. When the information in this guide applies to both configurations, the term “CAN/TEN”...

LTE SISO) LTE MIMO Pair LTE MIMO Pair to/from to/from BTS/eNode or e-POI BTS/eNode or e-POI If the signal levels of the BTS exceed the maximum input level of +27 dBm, an e-POI RF card or other suitable attenuator must be used to attenuate the signal. For optimum PIM performance, the composite level into a Donor (RFD Card) port should be less than 16 dBm. If only one carrier is in a band, PIM is probably not a concern. For the case of two or more carriers in a band, spurious intermods due to PIM could land in the UL causing interference. Whether or not PIM will cause interference depends on the spacing between UL and DL and the frequencies of active carriers. ® M0201AA -E Series Hardware Installation Guide © June 2017 CommScope, Inc.

  • Page 38: Connect The Aut Cards

    The outside network that supports the Ethernet device connected to the UAP must be connected to the • corresponding AUT Card and port of the subrack containing the CAT card to which the UAP is connected. Ethernet backhaul over the optical link is not supported. Because the path from the UAP AUX port to an AUT port path is a pass-through connection, no extra • network setup procedures for the Ethernet device are required. Because the UAP's AUX port is configured to support a second UAP by default, there will be a delay before • the Ethernet backhaul path at the AUT Card is ready to use when the device is initially connected. When an Ethernet device is connected to the AUX port of a UAP, ION-E detects the device, re-flashes the UAP to support the device, and then reboots the UAP. The UAP will perform the re-flash and reboot process whenever the UAP or Ethernet device connected to the AUX port is changed. The UAP's blue LED will blink while re-flashing without interrupting service, but the UAP will experience a short service interruption of approximately 1.5 minutes when it reboots. The AUT path is independent of the signal set assigned to a UAP, however, the maximum transport • bandwidth for the UAP is reduced from 320 MHz to 280 MHz when an Ethernet device is connected to the UAP. The AUX port of a cascaded (secondary) UAP cannot be used to connect an Ethernet device. • The AUT Card ports do not supply power, however, the UAP does supply Remote Power over Cat6A to • connected Ethernet devices. 1 Gbit/s and 100 Mbit/s Ethernet devices are supported. • ® -E Series Hardware Installation Guide M0201AA Page 32 © June 2017 CommScope, Inc.

    Removing an e-POI Module from an e-POI Subrack -POI M -POI S EMOVING AN E ODULE FROM AN E UBRACK The ION-E Software automatically detects when an e-POI Module is added to an e-POI Subrack. If you need to remove an e-POI Module, you must do the following: Disconnect the Ribbon cable from the e-POI Module that you are removing from the e-POI Subrack. Loosen the two thumbscrews on the bottom of the e-POI Module and pull it from the subrack. Press the Config button on the IFC for 5 seconds. This tells the ION-E Software to scan and delete the removed e-POI Module from inventory and clear any alarms related to that e-POI Module. Wait for the e-POI Module Status LEDS on the IFC to flash off and then on, which indicates that the IFC has been reconfigured. e-Poi Module ® -E Series Hardware Installation Guide M0201AA Page 40 © June 2017 CommScope, Inc.
